Visas this plan qualifies for
- Albania Unique Permit (Digital Nomad) Worldwide travel-medical subscription (Essential USD 250k / Complete USD 1.5M) far exceeds Albania's EUR 30k benchmark, runs the full stay with no residency restriction, and issues a downloadable certificate of coverage usable as proof of insurance for the Unique Permit application.
- Antigua and Barbuda NDR Worldwide travel-medical subscription with no fixed term that can run the full two-year Antigua stay and matches the visa's accepted 'travel' type with no published minimum to clear.
- Barbados Welcome Stamp SafetyWing's Complete plan ($1.5M/yr) is full health insurance that runs the entire stay and could satisfy Barbados, but the cheaper Essential plan is a travel-medical subscription that Barbados may reject as short-term travel cover, and SafetyWing itself states it cannot guarantee any visa authority will accept it — so fit depends on plan choice and must be verified.
- Brazil VITEM XIV Worldwide travel-medical subscription valid in Brazil for the full stay, satisfying CNIg Resolution 45/2021 Art. 3(II).
- Cape Verde Remote Working Program Worldwide travel-medical cover (~USD 250k/1.5M) with medical evacuation and repatriation, sold without residency restriction and renewable to span the full stay, satisfying Cape Verde's travel-insurance-with-evacuation/repatriation requirement that has no published minimum.
- Colombia V-Nomad Worldwide travel-medical subscription covering illness, hospitalization and repatriation in Colombia for the whole stay.
- Costa Rica DNV Travel-medical subscription (USD 250k limit, above the USD 50k floor) covering Costa Rica for the full stay.
- Croatia DN Continuous 4-weekly nomad travel-medical subscription with worldwide (ex-USA) cover including Croatia can run for the full 18-month stay, and Croatia sets no minimum coverage amount, so the USD 250k/1.5M limits are more than sufficient.
- Curacao @HOME Worldwide travel-medical subscription buyable from anywhere (incl. Curacao) that runs the full stay and issues a downloadable certificate of coverage as visa proof, directly satisfying the @HOME FAQ's 'valid international travel insurance + valid medical insurance' requirement for a non-resident who cannot enrol in public BVZ.
- Czech Republic Zivno Schengen-30k-compliant subscription, but the visa expects comprehensive cover beyond 90 days and Czech consulates often require a locally-recognized insurer.
- Dominican Republic Rentista (171-07) / Tourist-card extension SafetyWing Nomad (Complete, USD 1.5M annual) is globally buyable and covers the Dominican Republic for the full stay, but it is a travel-medical subscription and SafetyWing itself warns it cannot guarantee acceptance by every visa authority, so its fit against the 'comprehensive policy' wording of Law 171-07 needs checking.
- Ecuador Visa Nómada (Rentista) SafetyWing Nomad is a worldwide travel-medical plan that runs the full stay and covers Ecuador, matching the visa's accepted 'travel' type with no published minimum to clear; sold globally with no residency restriction.
- Estonia DNV Schengen-30k-compliant nomad subscription that issues a certificate of coverage for the full D-visa period.
- Georgia Remote Worldwide nomad travel-medical subscription providing the privately-arranged cover advised for the visa-free year.
- Greece DNV Subscription-based nomad travel medical cover (USD 250k-1.5M) can run continuously for the full 12-month period and matches the accepted 'travel' type, but it excludes routine/preventive care and the insurer states it cannot guarantee acceptance by every visa authority, so residence-stage adequacy is unconfirmed.
- Grenada Remote-Work Permit Grenada's Remote Employment Act 2021 only requires a health policy valid for the permit duration with no minimum or insurer type; SafetyWing's worldwide travel-medical subscription (USD 250k Essential / 1.5M Complete) runs the full stay, covers the Caribbean and is sold globally with no residency gate, and issues a downloadable certificate of coverage for the application.
- Iceland Remote Work Long-Term Visa Global travel-medical cover (USD 250k Essential / USD 1.5M Complete) that runs the full up-to-180-day stay, is Schengen-compliant (>30k) and provides a downloadable visa certificate explicitly referencing Schengen — directly satisfying Iceland's requirement for foreign cover valid in Iceland/Schengen for the entire stay, with no published numeric minimum to clear.
- Indonesia E33G optional Nomad subscription with USD 250k-1.5M limits covers worldwide stays outside the USA and renews indefinitely, so it comfortably covers the full 12-month Indonesia stay even though E33G imposes no insurance condition.
- Italy DNV Researched as Schengen-30k compliant with a USD 250,000 (approx. EUR 217k) medical limit plus USD 100,000 evacuation, and the subscription model runs continuously for the full 12-month stay, matching the travel-medical type consulates accept.
- Japan DN Essential's USD 250,000 (EUR 216,657) limit exceeds the EUR 53,999 medical minimum and the subscription model can run for the entire 6-month stay, but death/repatriation-of-remains cover is not documented in the facts and SafetyWing itself states it cannot guarantee acceptance by every visa authority.
- Kenya Class N Permit Worldwide travel-medical cover including Kenya with USD 250k limit plus emergency evacuation, runs for the full stay via 28-day auto-extension, and a downloadable certificate of coverage satisfies the Class N Permit's implicit demand for comprehensive health insurance covering emergencies, hospitalization and repatriation.
- Malaysia DE Rantau Worldwide travel-medical subscription valid in Malaysia that can produce a coverage certificate beyond the 3-month minimum.
- Mauritius Premium Visa Worldwide travel-medical subscription (USD 250k Essential / 1.5M Complete) that runs the full stay and includes Mauritius, with a downloadable certificate of coverage usable as the proof the EDB Premium Visa FAQ requires; no minimum amount is published, so the headline limit easily clears the bar.
- Mexico RT optional Nomad subscription with worldwide cover (USA only via add-on, so Mexico is in standard scope) and rolling 4-weekly billing easily spans the 12-month stay, with no visa-side minimum to meet since MX-RT requires no insurance.
- Montenegro DNV Travel-medical subscription (USD 250k Essential, ~EUR 217k / USD 1.5M Complete) worldwide incl. Montenegro, can be bought while already abroad and issues a downloadable certificate of coverage, fitting the 'travel insurance acceptable initially' note and clearing EUR 30,000.

- Panama Remote Worker Visa The Complete plan is full health insurance (USD 1.5M/year, worldwide incl. Panama) and SafetyWing issues a certificate of coverage for visa applications, but the cheaper Essential plan is travel-medical, and Decree 198 generally rejects pure travel insurance, so the applicant must use a qualifying tier and confirm in-Panama validity with the immigration authority.
- Philippines DNV Worldwide travel-medical subscription (USD 250k + USD 100k evacuation) buyable from anywhere regardless of residence, runs the full DNV stay, and issues a downloadable certificate of coverage as visa proof — squarely matches EO 86's open-ended 'medical emergencies incl. repatriation' requirement with no published minimum.
